Prince William and Kate Middleton have been hit by a fake break-up rumor picked up and spread by MSN.com. There is nothing to suggest the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are experiencing marital problems and they appeared happy together during a visit to Scotland on May 11. However, an article on French-language website Oh My Mag wrongly suggested Kate had walked out with the couple's three children, the website's publisher told Newsweek . MSN.com then ran a translation hosted on its own website, while a link to the story was posted to its 227,600 Twitter followers on May 17. Outlandish conspiracies about the British royal family appear in the world's media from time to time but what is notable about this example is the role MSN.com played in giving the story the potential to reach a mass audience in Britain and America. A spokesperson for Groupe Cerise, which owns Oh My Mag , told Newsweek : "This story is indeed false and has been published by accident. We are … [Read more...] about Prince William and Kate Middleton false break-up story spreads

One out of every ten bottles consumed in the world is a rosé, according to the latest World Rosé Observatory published in 2021. Once stereotyped as a wine associated with bad taste, rosé has moved upmarket to become a third type of wine in its own right, and one that is not only suitable for aperitif time. Serious efforts on the elaboration of various rosé wines as well as on the image of rosé continue to be made, in order to meet consumer expectations and elevate the product. Over the last few days, the world of wine has been buzzing about rock star legend Jon Bon Jovi's arrival in France. The It's My Life singer wasn't in town for a concert but for one of his other passions in life: wine. The event marked the official retail launch of his wine. And his wine is none other than a rosé that the singer has concocted with top winemaker Gérard Bertrand (who also is familiar with the world of music, as he's been organising an international jazz festival at one of his domains – … [Read more...] about Rosé wine is elevating its image with new blends and players

Russians lined up in a Moscow train station on Tuesday for what may be their last Big Mac from one of the few McDonald’s restaurants still open in the country. The world’s largest burger chain is rolling down the shutters in Russia after more than 30 years, becoming one of the biggest global brands to leave following Moscow’s actions in Ukraine. McDonald’s exit ends a chapter in the U.S. company’s history that began when it started serving its burgers in Russia as a symbol of American capitalism. The company had already decided to temporarily close its restaurants in the country in March. They included the iconic Pushkin Square location in central Moscow, which broke global records when opening on Jan. 31, 1990, as more than 30,000 people queued around the block for Big Macs costing 3 roubles. “McDonald’s operates in few places now,” said 32-year-old Irina, who was queuing at the branch in Moscow’s Leningradsky Station, from where trains head north to St Petersburg. “I miss … [Read more...] about Final Taste Of The West: Russians Queue Up At McDonald’s Outlets Ahead Of Its Exit

Tuesday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” host Tucker Carlson defended prior statements regarding so-called great replacement theory pertaining to the U.S. electorate and how Democrats had openly claimed shifts in demographics would be to their political advantage. Carlson’s remarks come in the wake of the Buffalo, NY shooting in which the suspect allegedly used the theory for justification for actions. Many on the left had attacked the FNC host, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who Carlson called a coward for declining to appear on his FNC show. Transcript as follows: Last May, a 17-year-old high school senior called Payton Gendron received an assignment in his economics class. The assignment asked, “What do you want to do when you retire?” He answered, “Commit murder-suicide.” Gendron’s teacher immediately reported his threat to authorities who sent him to the emergency room for a psychiatric evaluation. Gendron was there for just 20 hours, as he … [Read more...] about Carlson: Democrats Have Decided Rather Than Convince You, They Will Change the Electorate

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday introduced a plan for tighter gun control, vowed to investigate social media platforms and promised to fight domestic terrorism after a gunman killed 10 people and wounded three others at a Buffalo supermarket Saturday . Hochul, during a news conference, said the intersection of "two crises" led to the shooting: "The mainstreaming of hate speech, of racism and the easy access to military style weapons and magazines." "How many more lives have to be needlessly taken for us before we face the truth?" she said. "We can no longer look away and we’re not just going to call it out." Hochul said that New York State Police will now be required to "file for an Extreme Risk Protection Order" when they believe an individual is a threat. According to current red flag laws in the state , police had the option of reporting. The governor also said she will work with the legislature to pass laws that require police to report gun crimes within … [Read more...] about Gov.

I had known that Didion’s Parkinson’s was advancing; seven or eight months earlier, someone had told me that she was vanishing; someone else had told me that for the past two years, she hadn’t been able to speak. I didn’t want her to die. My sense of myself is in many ways wrapped up in the 40 essays in Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The White Album . I don’t know how many times I’ve read Democracy . “Call me the author,” she writes in that novel. “Let the reader be introduced to Joan Didion.” There are people who admire Joan Didion, and people who … [Read more...] about Joan Didion’s Magic Trick

Lindsay Lohan's gearing up for a return to making films, and her new role has more than one similarity with The Parent Trap, the iconic role which first made her famous. To start off, according to Variety she'll be playing a “newly engaged, spoiled hotel heiress [who] finds herself in the care of a handsome, blue-collar lodge owner and his precocious daughter." Does that ring any bells? The story line of Lindsay's new movie sounds incredibly similar to the 1998 classic! Fans of The Parent Trap will remember that Lindsay played the precocious daughter in that movie, and one of the leading adult characters was Meredith, played by Elaine Hendrix, who was - you've guessed it - a spoiled young singleton who ended up dating Lindsay's character's father, played by Dennis Quaid. Lindsay Lohan played two twins Hallie and Annie in The Parent Trap On a darker note, Lindsay's character develops memory loss after a skiing accident, according to Variety. Tragically, Natasha Richardson, … [Read more...] about Lindsay Lohan’s Netflix film has more than one thing in common with The Parent Trap
